The whole family is gathering to celebrate baby cousins 1st birthday. They will do the doljabi! Dasoms mommy will assemble a microphone, a ball, money, yarn, a paintbrush, and other things. Dasom will pick something, and that will decide her future. If she picks a ball, she will be an athlete. If she picks a paintbrush, she will be an artist.
Yoomi is worried. What if Dasom picks a paintbrush and doesnt want to be an artist? Grandma assures Yoomi that Dasom can become whatever she wantsbut maybe she will be a creative person, just like an artist.
